RWV Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I was wondering if the classic florals like jasmine, rose, honeysuckle, magnolia, and gardenia sell well or if customers are looking for more complex scents like white tea and ginger, bamboo and sugar cane, raspberries & white roses, etc. What floral or foral/fruit or floral anything blends do well for you guys? Thanks so much!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 My best selling floral scent has always been honeysuckle. For 15 years, this has been my best selling floral. Rose is another winner too. However, you have to be careful with rose. Some smell very old-fashioned and depressing. A very vibrant rose is a great seller all year long.

LovelyLathers Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Rose is a great seller for me as is Lilac, Sweet Pea and Sweet Violets. Jasmine and Honeysuckle are ok sellers for me. I can not give away Magnolia. Blends do better than straight FO's Sandalwood Rose, Country Garden, Rosewood, Green Tea and Rose, Amazing Grace and Aqua Type (pier one dup) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Lily of the Valley hands down has been my best seller for years, especially in soap and lotion. I couldn't sell any other floral type scent if my life depended on it. Lilac does great in candles and tarts and I mix Rose with Mac Apple and that sells well in soap and candles.

Scented Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Lavender, Lilac and rose move here. Once upon a time honeysuckle did too. Wish it would again lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure!Maybe the people are overly stressed, but it's one of those I have to do all the time because it just doesn't stick around in stock.
